"There will be a 20% convenience fee for credit cards left overnight. Thank you."
Mike C.

This bar has become over run with biker clubs. Once they arrive you are guaranteed not to get service. The bar also has signs posted that say if your credit card is left overnight, you will be automatically charged 20%. Which is fine. However, the past two times we have been there. We are charged 20% gratuity regardless if we use cash or card and I looked this up and it is illegal for an establishment to do this. Being that we have never had at 20% service I feel the need to complain, if the service was great, this would not be an issue. However, they are not earning their tips, they ignore their guests, knowing that they will be getting 20% regardless of what they do. This past time we went I ordered the wings and tostones, I asked for them to include three sauces when I got my bill I realized I was charged 80¢ for each one. I'm confused since when do wings not come with any sauce?? We have been regular customers for two years now and have even supported their contributions to fight cancer by purchasing eight koozies over the last two years and after this time, we were finally able to bring two home since the previous seasons were "disposed" of by staff.

Blue Raspberry and Vanilla vodkas with cranberry.

This place was expensive, and the service was AWFUL. The bartender acted like we were an imposition. Go to Villari's instead.

This place is a hidden jewel! An Oasis in the middle of SJ. More than just a can beer joint. Food is good.

Loved the tiki bar type of feel. However, the drinks were extremely overpriced & the food was horrible. Small potions & overpriced.

Happy to have stumbled across R&D after having dinner in the area. The lounge offers moody and…read moremodern vibes. Menu had a few light bites (which we didn't indulge in) and fun cocktails. I loved my choice of a banana rum drink I got it twice. Flavor of the drink was tropical and smoky, done by a smoked cinnamon stick. It was served in a fun glass which was a cherry on top of a cool experience.

What a cool bar. The vibe is tiki-inspired with a big bar, swanky seating and creative cocktails…read more Right away I was impressed by the menu which looks like a treasure map, perfectly playing into the tiki theme. I've never seen this before and thought it was so creative. The bartender was really friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable for what you're getting - about $15 for expertly crafted cocktails. I can't for the life of me remember the exact names of what we ordered but I was especially impressed with my second drink which was mezcal based and came with a hollowed out lime containing peppercorns which was then set on fire! The toasted peppercorn notes paired very well with the rest of the drink. I'm not usually one to enjoy mezcal but I actually really liked this drink. I was really surprised and impressed by that. Their happy hour is pretty solid too with $9 select drinks, $5 snacks (including the curly fries), and $9 sandwiches. We also ordered curly fries because why not and they were amazing. I'd definitely return in the future to try more food and more drinks.
